They had
not a fault to find in him. He had explained away all the appearance
of neglect on his own side. It had originated in misapprehension
entirely. He had never had an idea of throwing himself off; he had
feared that he was thrown off, but knew not why, and delicacy had kept him
silent. Upon the hint of having spoken disrespectfully or carelessly
of the family and the family honours, he was quite indignant. He,
who had ever boasted of being an Elliot, and whose feelings, as to connection, were
only too strict to suit the unfeudal tone of the present day. He was
astonished, indeed, but his character and general conduct must refute
it. He could refer Sir Walter to all who knew him; and certainly,
the pains he had been taking on this, the first opportunity of reconciliation,
to be restored to the footing of a relation and heir-presumptive, was a strong
proof of his opinions on the subject.
